Holi-GAINZ

Happy Holi-gainz! If you haven’t seen Darrick talk about Holi-gainz yet, go to the CFRE Facebook group to watch the vid.

Basically, this month, we want you to ENJOY life (and food!), and we want you to keep coming to the gym. For one, all those calories will help you get really strong, which is our goal this month. For two, exercise is the best stress-reliever. Let’s keep each other sane!!

All Christmas orders are in and will be delivered as soon as everything has been received. (If you are traveling and need to pick up something as soon as we get it in, just let us know!)

Leo

Leo jumped right into CrossFit with no hesitation (even with no previous experience!), and it’s been awesome to watch him progress quickly in even the most complicated lifts. He shows up for class consistently week after week, and always comes with a smile and makes things so much fun. He even leads an ab workout after the 8am class every so often. Thanks for being part of the family, Leo!

What’s Happening Next Door??

There has been some chatter about what’s going on next door. Yes — we are looking into expanding into that space, in the hopes of moving offices, storage, retail, hangout, and personal training space next door. Just so everyone knows, nothing is official and we don’t have anything in writing, but we are conversing about it. We know things are getting tight in our current space and this will free up another 1,000 square feet if we make it happen. If and when it becomes official, we will release more info.

See below for Holiday hours this month!!!!

Bren

When Bren came in for the first time and said she wanted to lift heavy and put on muscle, I about died with happiness. And this girl is committed!! She comes to class consistently, listens well, and has made awesome gains. So glad to be part of your journey, Bren. And so stoked to see where it takes you! Especially at the Cornucopia Cup next month!!!!

Chesley

We actually know Chelsey originally because she was our daughter’s first nanny! We loved her immediately and couldn’t be happier to have kept her in our family. She works SO hard, being incredibly patient through lingering injuries. Thanks for inspiring us to be everyday better, Chelsey!

Summer was short… but we’re going to make the best of the chilly weather!! It does mean delicious dark brews and things made with apples and pumpkins… sooooo not ALL bad!

The Everyday Better Project — curious?!?!

Darrick will be putting on a seminar Saturday, September 3 specifically for those of you who want to know more, but aren’t 100% certain this program is for you. At the seminar, you’ll learn how to determine your macro-nutrient needs, as well as get an overview of the 5 steps of the program.

$20 (free to current EvBe members who would like a little in-person support!)

Dan is one of our fiercest supporters. Despite a battle with RA, he comes in consistently and always works hard, with a smile. He deep cleans the gym once a week (thank you!), he represents us at local business meetings (2-hour parking anyone?!?!), and he loves and encourages each and every person he comes in contact with. We appreciate you SO MUCH!!!
